Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr
All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.
Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.
It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.
The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.
Thank you though for all the memories
Phil Sumbler

Nostalgia overload. The club, and football in general, was a different beast back then to what it is today.

I remember when we were 13-14 and we used to jump on a train and go and watch Wales. We used to go under the Arms Park and wait for the players leave the bar and get autographs.
When it was John’s debut, him and his Dad walked back to the train station with us and made sure we got there ok. Lovely memory with our hero.

My hero growing up was Cornforth. Whilst all my mates were United, Leeds and Villa fans......i was supporting 3rd division Swansea and raving about John Cornforth, they remind me to this day about me raving about him.
As crazy as it sounds, I preffered those days under Burrows over the Premier league years.
Great days and ones when I think back fondly about the Swans are the days I'm instantly taken to.

That Burrows team of 92/93 was something. Good strong characters like Chopper, Keith Walker, Roger and Corny. Then the flair of Leggy(turncoat) and Bowen. The only thing lacking was an out and out scorer.
If it wasn’t for Wests stupidity in the second leg at West Brom, I think we’d have come back and then who knows.
